hi all now that i'm a bit more familiar with my mac i'm looking to install programmes on it such as Skype. what is the easiest way to do this? i've gone to the website and downloaded the programme to my downloads folder but when i go to the folder to try and install it i find about 5 different files there, all say they are images and they have the title Skype and a load of numbers after them, is this what i should have and how do i proceed?
